Your heaviest days are the days you need to love yourself the hardest 💜
Be kind to yourself. Offer yourself grace. Give yourself a little compassion. You are going through something that is incredibly unfair and difficult for even those who are going through it to understand some days. You deserve to feel self love. Especially on your heaviest days.

Infertility Affirmations:
“When i look back at the
beginning of my fertility
journey, instead of feeling guilt
or shame for being naive of
how hard it would be to
conceive, i choose to offer
that version of myself grace,
knowing i did the best i could
with the information i had.”

When someone you know loses a pregnancy, it’s important to validate and acknowledge their loss instead of minimizing their grief.
When pregnancy loss happens we are grieving:
🧡 The loss of a baby
🧡 The loss of being able to finally announce a pregnancy
🧡 The loss of the future you were planning for that child
🧡 The ability to meet them
🧡 The ability to ever hold them
🧡 The ability to ever get to know them
Acknowledge their grief & honor their sadness. A loss is a loss no matter how far along.

While Struggling With Infertility It’s Ok To:
🌈 Be as open or as private as you want on your journey (and even if you’re open at times you can also be private in other moments.)
💜 Put your mental health first
🌸 Say no to situations that might be triggering for you. (This may fluctuate for you throughout your journey and that’s ok too.) Always communicate honestly about how you’re feeling.
💕 Set boundaries with others (and stick to them!)
🧡 Feel and process your emotions! They are valid and it’s ok to get emotional.
✨ Stay off of social media or mute accounts that make your heart feel heavy.

Just a quick reminder that it is never ok to ask someone ✨why✨ they don’t have kids yet.
A Few Reasons Why It’s Not Ok:
They have been trying, but haven’t been successful yet.
They decided they don’t want kids.
They are 1 in 6 who struggle with infertility.
They were victims of sexual abuse in the past and have a hard time discussing this topic.
They recently suffered a pregnancy loss or aren’t comfortable talking about a past pregnancy loss.
They’ve had multiple pregnancy losses.
They don’t feel emotionally & mentally ready yet.
They aren’t financially ready yet.
They can’t for medical reasons.
They’re on an adoption waiting list and aren’t ready to talk about it until it’s official.
They’re in the process of doing fertility treatments but want to keep that information to themselves.
They can’t for health reasons.
They’re dealing with mental health issues.
They can’t or don’t want to for other personal reasons.
They are waiting for other personal reasons.
And lastly, it’s none of your business 👏🏻

In honor of I wanted to shared my story for those of you who may be new to my journey 💖
I Am 1 in 6 ❤️
My husband and I have been trying to conceive our first child since 2014. In early 2016, my husband was diagnosed with male factor infertility which accounts for 30% of all infertility cases. We decided to keep trying naturally for a few years. You know how they say it only takes one, right? Well, we haven’t been so lucky 🤷🏼♀️ In 2019 we decided to move forward with IVF/ICSI and were able to create 9 embryos. Unfortunately, our fresh embryo transfer did not take and we were pretty heartbroken, but not completely hopeless. We still had 7 embryos left and felt really good about moving forward.
I Am 1 in 4 🌈
In early 2020 we moved forward with a frozen embryo transfer of two more embryos and with an implantation protocol. After 5 years of trying? we were finally pregnant. Unfortunately, this pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage and we were completely devastated. We took a year off to heal, grieve, and start therapy. In 2021 we felt ready to try again and transferred another set of frozen embryos only to discover that pregnancy was ectopic and we were forced to terminate. After two consecutive losses, we decided to take a break and stop focusing on TTC 🤰
1 Am 1 in 100 👼🏻
In January of 2022 we got the shock of a lifetime to find out we got pregnant naturally for the first time in 7 years. I wish I could tell you this ended with our rainbow baby, but after seeing our baby’s beautiful heartbeat, this pregnancy also ended in miscarriage.
You Are Not Alone 🌈
I have dedicated my platform to sharing my journey in hopes others never feel alone while struggling with infertility and grief after pregnancy loss. Our story has inspired me to create Infertile Millennial - a support platform for others on their journey or struggling with grief after pregnancy loss in hopes to spread awareness, offer a listening ear, and make you feel seen, heard, and understood.

What people think infertility is like:
You’re sad because your pregnancy test was negative again.
What infertility is really like:
Month after month you’re grieving the life you once planned for yourself and your partner. you wonder why everyone around you gets to plan when and how many kids they have while feeling like you have no control over your future. you feel like no one understands and it feels lonely and isolating. you don’t like talking about it because everyone shoves unsolicited advice down your throat while subtly invalidating your diagnosis. you’re exhausted from the rollercoaster of emotions you feel every month.

What To Say To Someone Struggling With Infertility 💜What would you add the the list?
“I’m sorry you’re going through this.”
“This must be so frustrating.”
“I know I don’t understand, but I’m always here to listen if you need to vent.”
“I support whatever decision you have to make while on your journey.”
“What can I do to give you the support you need?”
“This is so unfair. I hope you know that I am always here for you.”
What You Should Avoid 🙅🏼♀️
❌ “Just Relax & Stop Stressing.”
❌”It will happen if it’s meant to be.”
❌ “Everything happens for a reason.”
❌”Maybe you’re not meant to be parents.”
❌ “Have you tried x,y,z?”
❌ “I know this couple who…”
❌ “You’re still young.”
❌ “Why don’t you just…”
❌ “It will happen when you stop trying.”
❌ Giving unsolicited advice of any kind

Reminder for April Fool’s Day: Fake Pregnancy Announcements Are Not Funny 📣📣📣
1 in 8 couples struggle with infertility.
1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage.
Odds are someone you know is struggling with infertility or pregnancy loss and you may not even realize it because many couples choose to keep it to themselves.
Your fake pregnancy announcement will trigger those struggling with infertility and pregnancy and infant loss.
Your friend who has been struggling with infertility for years will be reminded that it feels like everyone around her can easily get pregnant, but she has been fighting so hard with no success.
Your coworker who lost a pregnancy will remember that they never got the chance to announce their pregnancy.
Your sister who lost her baby will be reminded of when she announced her pregnancy, but then quickly be reminded of the day she lost her baby during birth.
The heaviness and grief people experience during infertility and after pregnancy loss is a pain that you can only understand if you have gone through it yourself.
It’s not funny.
It’s not a joke.
It’s never ok.
This April Fool’s day remember that someone you know may be struggling with infertility or grief after pregnancy or infant loss.

Thinking of those who are still waiting for their lucky charm while struggling with infertility and life after pregnancy loss 🍀🌈

Stop telling people who struggle with infertility that they are lucky they don’t get pregnant easily and don’t have to deal with birth control. They’d much rather get to choose when they get pregnant than spend time and money on fertility treatments.
Stop telling people who are struggling with infertility that they are lucky they don’t have kids yet. They would much rather be busy taking care of kids than going to hundreds of doctors appointments, spending. Thousands on treatments and sticking themselves with countless needles.
Stop telling people that they are lucky that they get to do IVF and choose which embryo they want. Most people doing IVF aren’t testing their embryos for gender, they’re doing it to choose the most genetically healthy for their best chance at a live birth.
There’s nothing lucky about infertility and pregnancy loss 🍀🌈

If you’re one pregnancy announcement from losing your s**t, you are not alone 💖
It’s ok to feel emotional when you see someone else announcing a pregnancy.
It’s ok to wonder “why her and not me?”
It’s ok to be happy for them and sad for you.
It’s ok to take a break from social media for your mental health.
It’s ok to mute someone who just announced a pregnancy so you don’t have to see their updates.
Whatever emotion surfaces when you see another pregnancy announcement is normal and valid.
Sending love to all the mamas struggling with infertility and life after pregnancy loss 💗

Infertility Guilt Looks Like:
Guilt for feeling jealous when seeing another pregnancy announcement
Guilt for not being able to make our parents grandparents
Guilt for needing to distance ourselves from others
Guilt for not being able to give our only child a sibling
Guilt for how much money we’re spending on fertility treatments
Guilt for not being able to attend baby showers
Guilt for putting our life on pause in case this is finally THE month
Guilt for not being able to give our partner a baby
Guilt for making it to the other side of infertility while others are still struggling
Guilt for wanting to stop treatments after all this time
Guilt for feeling sad when others might have it worse
Guilt over not feeling ready to open up to our families yet
Guilt for feeling like my grief is too much for others
Guilt for not spending enough time with my nieces and nephews
Guilt for not eating the right things all of the time
Guilt for ever taking birth control to begin with
Guilt that our IVF cycle worked the first time
Guilt for needing a whole team of doctors to help us
Guilt for wondering if I could have done something different
Guilt for not trying sooner

Apparently love is not all you need. It’s turns out you also need perfectly timed fertility treatments, a team of reproductive specialists and a whole lot of patience.

If you’re annoyed with how much someone talks about infertility, imagine how annoying it is to actually live it 💜
If you’re annoyed that someone is still grieving their pregnancy loss, imagine how annoying it is to have to live through it.

This week it will have been two years since we lost our last pregnancy, and no matter how much healing and time has gone by, I can’t help but still feel stuck in between two worlds. One where we want to try again and one where we’re comfortable staying child free by choice.
Trying to conceive after pregnancy loss makes you feel like you’re stuck between wanting to be pregnant and being afraid to ever get pregnant again 💕 Can any one else relate?

Cheers to THREE years of Infertile Millennial and infertilemillennial.com 🎉 A space for those struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss, and fertility treatments.
This platform is incredibly near and dear to my heart. As many of you know my husband and I have struggled with infertility for almost 10 years. Infertile Millennial was born after our first pregnancy loss back in 2020 and started as a small podcast of me sharing my experience. I knew I wanted to do more than just share my journey, and in 2021 I decided to launch infertilemillennial.com as a way to raise awareness, educate others who know someone going through infertility and pregnancy loss, offer support, and most importantly, help those struggling feel less alone.
I am so incredibly proud of the growth we have done and the community we have created (50,000+ 🤯!!) and support that has been given and can’t wait to see what this year has in store ❤️ If you or someone you know is experiencing infertility or pregnancy loss, I hope that this page can be of some comfort and support to you.
I see you.
I hear you.
I feel you.
I am you.
With love & gratitude,
Emily 🧡

What I thought a positive pregnancy test would feel like: “9 months from now we will finally have our baby.”
What it actually feels like:
“Don’t get your hopes up.”
“We still have a long way to go.”
“I hope the line keeps getting darker.”
“I hope my HCG keeps going up.”
“I hope I don’t get heartbroken again.”
If you’ve been here before, you are not alone. I see you, I understand you, I am you.🧡🌈

You are not too weak,
Infertility is hard and unfair.
You are not being dramatic,

You don’t need to learn a lesson,
Infertility is hard and unfair.
You are not being tested,
Infertility is hard and unfair.
You are not a failure,
Infertility is hard and unfair 🧡
